Our blog is called Camp David because that's what Dave calls the backyard when he has campfires and I'm out of town. The purpose of this blog is to communicate how Dave is doing with his cancer treatment. We will update as often as we can and you can check in whenever you want.

Diagnosis
Dave was given the diagnosis with Stage 4 lung cancer in July, 2009 which is inoperable. We are going to Oncology Care in St Joseph Michigan for chemo. The standard chemo treatment for lung cancer is Taxol and Carboplatin. After a lung biopsy by Bronchoscopy confirmed the diagnosis, Dave decided to enter a lung cancer study which would give him a 50/50 chance of getting a new drug with the others and is available here in St Joe [other closest sites include Petoskey, Detroit, Chicago and Indy]. It is an open label study (which means we get to know) and Dave got the drug. He started 3 week cycles on August 6, 2009. Below are links to Lung Cancer information including the study he is enrolled in.
Tasteful, tasteful!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the daughter of a wonderful man who battles against lung cancer at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Your blog is a welcomed oasis in a battle of fear! My dad has been battling NSCLC since Nov. 2007, with surgery and then Proton Radiation Therapy. Thursday, he begins a clinical trial at MD Anderson using the exact same protocol you are on! Your success is just what Dad needs to hear right now! I've printed your blog explaining your latest CT findings. I can't wait to share them with him! Good luck with your treatments..I'll be lurking and watching your posts. http://www.dalestover.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHi Phyllis! How wonderful you found us. This whole process is a life changing experience. I look forward to hearing how you dad does with the study. Please keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteWould love to ask for answers to so many questions my dad has? Are you up for some questions? phyllisboedeker@sbcglobal.net
